US Patent Office issues two new patents to Capstone

Capstone Turbine Corporation, the world’s leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems announced recently that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued two new patents to Capstone. The patents support Capstone’s initiatives targeting the expansion of multiple fuels for operation, including high flame speed fuels such as hydrogen, while also maintaining Capstone’s industry-leading low emissions.

Patent 10,184,664 is for a multiple-fuel capable, pre-mixed, low emission injector for high flame speed fuel combustion. This patent is the foundation for continued development in achieving high reliability and performance with hydrogen content fuels.

Patent 10,197,292 is for a multi-staged, lean pre-vaporizing, pre-mixing fuel injector providing ultra-low emissions that meet EPA Tier 4 requirements for power generation. Under this new program, exhaust emissions from these engines will be required to decrease by more than 90%.

Capstone’s technology roadmap includes the development of not only new fuel capabilities enabled by these patents, but also integrating these advancements into our future C65 Signature Series product line, and validated as part of our organic technology growth strategy.
